DB After an accident, it's tempting to focus only on the obvious damage, whether that's a dented panel or a cracked bumper. But a proper assessment looks well beyond what's immediately visible.
What a proper assessment covers
- The full extent of visible panel and paint damage
- Panel alignment and structural integrity
- Lights, mirrors and other affected components
- Whether the impact may have affected steering, suspension or other mechanical parts
- Whether repair or replacement is the appropriate route for each affected area
Why skipping this can be a false economy
Addressing only the obvious damage can mean underlying issues, whether cosmetic or mechanical, go unnoticed until they cause a bigger problem, or an MOT failure, further down the line.
The advantage of a combined garage
Because DB Autos is both a bodywork specialist and a full mechanical garage, an assessment can cover the whole picture rather than just what's visible on the surface.
